Marshall's last and really grande passion had come to a violent termination, and monetary difficulties forced him to turn his thoughts to painting as a means of livelihood. This decided me. I asked him to come and live with me, and to be as near our studio as possible, I took an appartement in the Passage des Panoramas.
Do you remember the evening, Celie, when Mme. de Castiglione came back an old, old woman, and told us how, when she had grown old and had lost her beauty and was very lonely, she would no longer live in the great house which was so full of torturing memories, but took a small appartement near by, where no one knew her; and how she used to walk out late at night, and watch, with her eyes full of tears, the dark windows which had been once so bright with light?
"Madame," he said, softly, "it is a place of miracle. It is here that I shall live." She smiled. She had served an apprenticeship in the reading of the artist's heart the child's heart. "Yes, monsieur? You will live here?" "As soon, madame, as it suits you to vacate the appartement." Again she smiled, gently, indulgently.
And it is a good appartement?" "No better in Montmartre." "A sufficiency of light?" 'Light? The woman smiled in scorn. 'Was it not open to the skies with those two windows in front, and that balcony? Max's excitement kindled. "Madame, I must see this appartement! May I mount now at once?" But the matter was no such light one. Madame shook her head. 'Ah, that was not possible! 'Why not?
Young, luxurious summer palpitated through the dusk, fanning the ardor in her heart.

Blake had slipped unheard into the appartement, and was awaiting her on the balcony.
Vanderlyn bowed, with voluntary deference. "Monsieur," she said, in a low, deep voice, "I must ask you to follow me; this is my sister's appartement. I live next door."
He, too, thinks he can cheat nature; but I preach my gospel to him, I tell him Nature will have her own. If we will not bend to her, she will take and break us. Ah, but listen to that!" His discourse broke off; they both involuntarily raised their heads and looked toward the windows of the neighboring appartement. "Princess!" he said, delightedly.
The good-looking workman pulled off his cap and made his bow, and we proffered the customary congratulations. "We have bought such sweet, pretty things," continued she, rattling on with all her old volubility, "and we have hired the dearest little appartement on the fourth story, in a street near the Jardin des Plantes. See this looking-glass is ours; we have just bought it.
I have found an appartement in the rue Müller, at Montmartre the appartement I had set my heart upon, the place where I can live and paint and make my success!" Blake stared at him in silence. "Yes! Yes!" Max insisted. "And it is all quite settled. And you are coming back with me to-day at one o'clock to interview the concierge!" Blake threw himself back in his chair. "I'm hanged if I am!"
The Paris lottery was drawn on the twenty-fifth of each month, and the lists closed on the twenty-fourth, at midnight. Philippe studied all these points and set himself to watch. He came home at midday; the Descoings had gone out, and had taken the key of the appartement. But that was no difficulty.
